Like in Adair, we're building a motorway, a bypass around Adair, we're accelerating it.

you know, to make it for the Ryder Cup, whereas these infrastructure projects in Bothavent and Charleville are waiting 20 years.

The joy is great.

I think that there's made up numbers around the benefits of some of these things.

If we want to have a real conversation about the benefits or not, like the NFL last year, great occasion and all the rest of it.

But the state paid an awful lot to a big multinational corporation to bring it in.

And the numbers about the dividend seemed fairly flaky about hotel beds and spend and all the rest of it.

Look, events do have some benefits, but I think we need to look at it more carefully.

And we really should be having a look when we come to the Irish Open and Trump Doonbeg in September.

You know, what's the benefit?

In a place, for example, there's very few hotel beds.

So where are people going to stay, you know, and all of that?

So, I mean, I think the Ryder Cup piece, we were sold a bit of a pup.

And now people are beginning to wonder if these people are profiteering at 500 quid a day to watch people playing golf.

What was it all really about in the first place, you know?

Look, I think the issue in Dublin, I don't know about Galway, but in Dublin is we still have people doing waste through bags left on the streets.

Not only are the seagulls, no, the size of small turkeys, they also have worked out how to open bags, you know.

So, like, it's a simple thing for Dublin City Council is just stop the idea of rubbish bags being left on the streets and then you, I think, you deal with the seagull problem.
